What Béton looks like
Béton is a light gray-beige. The gray shows first, but there is enough beige in it to keep the color from looking icy.
The nearest colors in the Hermès range are Sauge, Gris Platine, Silver, Parchemin, and Bleu Pâle. Sauge adds a faint green cast, Gris Platine turns cooler and cleaner, and Parchemin moves warmer and creamier.
On Clémence and Togo, Béton looks softer and slightly dustier because the grain breaks up the surface. On Evercolor it looks flatter and more even, which makes the pale concrete side of the color easier to see.
